Costa Rica: Monteverde

Very nice burrito indeed -chicken, guac, chipotle, pico de gallo, beans.

The faces don't depict how they really felt about the food, except for totally engrossed I suppose. 

Tropical rain storm. Over them already. Bring back the sun please. 

'Spaguetti Bolognesa The House' anyone?

Bar Amigos- lots of amigos made, lots of laughs and dances shared amongst amigos. 

Boat trip to La Fortuna. 

The mannequins are slightly larger than ours back home. Nothing wrong with a normal healthy body shape?

Maison St Cassien #100 Happy Days

What made me happy today? 

Lunch with my lovely mum at Maison St Cassien -a sweet little place in Wimbledon village run by lovely Lebanese men with Cheshire Cat grins. We devoured creamy hummus, our favourite, baba ganoush speckled with pomegranate, flat breads and chargrilled halloumi in the shape of hearts.

One of the many important life lessons I learnt from my mother is that a dab of innocent flirtation will get you a long way. And today, it got us free chicken with our hummus and bite-sized baklavas as we left. Bonus.

To make matters even better this evening, I was pleasantly surprised by my heart shaped nandos chicken. This has been a happy food day indeed.
